davidr- there is an adjustment in the rod which actuates the brake master cyl. Adjust this rod so there is a slight (1/4") slack between when you push the brake pedal & you feel resistance when it starts to push the plunger in the master cyl.

The plunger needs to get back to its "rest" position to bleed off any residual pressure in the brake hydraulic circuit. The circuit is designed to hold about 7lbs- any more than that & you'll start to have issues.
